ouch!!

a few weeks ago, megan had the privilege of getting 6 of her baby teeth pulled so her permanent teeth would have more room to come into her tiny mouth. she hasn't allowed pictures of her face yet so i thought i'd show off what came out. these suckers are huge!! check out those roots! to all our ortho/dental contacts: cory, jeremy, brandon, anybody, is this normal? these baby teeth don't look very babyish to the untrained eye. the holes left in her gums are still trying to heal, two weeks later. she was a champ though. our dentist didn't put her out and she said she heard the whole thing, roots popping and all. gross!! one of these days i'll snap a picture of her face when she least expects it. but right now, she's still so self conscious and calls herself toothless uncle lou (though she, nor matt, nor i have a toothless uncle lou)
